My friends have decided to go and see Quantum of Solace tomorrow. They really want to see it.

I'm a bit worried that I might not be able to cope with it though, because I get very anxious and I'm very jumpy. And I don't want to upset my friends and pull out, because they are so excited about going to see it.

So anyway... What is it like? Would someone like me be able to cope with it?
I thought I would be okay, but now I'm not so sure :?

Well if you say what kinds of things would make you anxious and jumpy in an action movie, I can probably answer your question, but I didn't feel anxious or jumpy when I watched it so I can't help, at least now :(

I think the most important thing to know about QOS is that it is a sequel to Casino Royale in terms of plot and characters. If you haven't watched Casino Royale first, you would miss a lot in QOS.

If you were able to watch Casion Royale, it should be no problem, but it is pretty much standard action flick. I mean, there's a fair bit of violence, and nothing really nice going on, but it wasn't terribly intense.

I haven't seen the movie, but I can tell you the video game is terrible, hence me not wanting to see the movie.

Well, I'd still like to see the one with Lazenby and Dianna Rigg...;)

Ok, first thing; James Bond movies are a cinematic version of Haiku. No matter what movie you'll see, this is how it goes down.

Start - some impossible escape, each one more over-the-top than the movie before.

James Bond meets the first girl. She gives him important information, then is killed.

James Bond (the agent, not the famous orinthologist...) meets the 2nd (the 'bond girl'), who helps him out. They don't like each other at first, but he applies 'horizontal persuasion', and the Bond Girl completely reverses her outlook on life, and will sacrifice anything to help him...;)

James Bond is captured by the bad guy, who monologues and gives away his whole plan. Bad Guy tries to kill James Bond.

James Bond escapes, large things are blown up in cinematic technicolor, and James and the Bond Girl escape, make whoopie, get caught, and allow Bond to make some horrid pun (well, mainly the Roger Moore ones...;)
